so I’m buying a watch from this guy and he starts telling me about his Kolbold diver. I never heard of them, he sent me a pic. His is in the shop getting serviced so I think this is a stock pic but I was interested to hear of an American brand. Now I need to see if it’s actually American. or another shinola. Damn just found out I lost the picture he sent I’ll see if I can find it or figure out how to delete it. All this anticipation built up and I ruined it, forgive me. By the way I’m not the kobold just interested if it’s truly American

 

Hard to say if they are really in business any more. Owner has a very bleak track record ... avoid.

 

Well that settles it can’t say anymore of that. Lock this puppy up

 

Oh yeah found this

Google it , for an article by Erika on another watch forum..
you would't think Kobold after that

 

Don't believe the hype, over priced junk.

 

Yep, a guy who gave the industry a black eye. Just say no!

 

Well let me explain. I wasn’t buying the hubolt. He has one and I wasn’t familiar with it until I linked the article above and read about him climbing Everest and ripping off a charity for vets. This gentle has an omega he is selling which is how the topic came about
